Mason County seniors Deshawn Overly and Cece Hiatt both signed on Tuesday to continue their education and running careers at Lindsey Wilson College.
Overly was named to the Class 2A All-State Cross Country Team after leading Mason County to a 10th place finish at the 2024 state meet. He was the individual region champion for the second straight year and finished ninth at the state meet. Overly led the Royals to back-to-back cross country region titles in 2023 and 2024. The 2023 region championship was the program’s first since 1973. Mason County was the state runner-up in 2023 with Overly taking 16th place.
Overly holds the outdoor school record in the 3200 meter run and indoor school record in the 3000 meter run. He was a member of the Royals’ outdoor track and field team that was the region runner-up last year and he anchored the 4x800 meter relay team that won the region championship. The 4x800 meter relay team won the indoor state championship last March.
Hiatt was a member of Mason County’s outdoor track and field team that won the 2024 region title and finished fifth at the state meet. She ran on the 4x400 meter relay team that won a region championship and took eighth place at the state meet. The 4x400 meter relay took fourth place at the 2024 indoor state meet helping the Lady Royals to a team runner-up finish.
Hiatt participated in the Kentucky Governor’s Scholar Program last summer.
